What Is Extension Platform?

What Is the Extension Platform?

The Extension Platform (EP) is the official ecosystem for Stripchat extensions. It provides:

  • A centralized Extensions Library for discovery.
  • An Extension Platform for creating, uploading, and managing extensions.
  • A secure runtime where your web app runs directly inside the Stripchat interface.

The purpose of extensions is to boost interaction and make the stream more fun for everyone, providing Models with intuitive tools to manage engagement without any extra hassle, while remaining simple and crystal clear for viewers to interact with.

What Extension Platform Provides?

The EP is a general-purpose framework for building interactive experiences inside Stripchat. It gives creators the building blocks to design any engagement loop, without prescribing how the experience should work.

Key outcomes:

  • Creator control through configurable settings and flexible UI placement.
  • Discovery via the Extensions Library and platform UI placement.
  • Safety and isolation via sandboxed iframes and CSP-based network restrictions.

The SDK and platform runtime provide generic capabilities that can be combined to build a wide range of extensions:

  • Multiple UI surfaces (main slots, overlay slots, background logic).
  • Real-time events and messaging between extension frames.
  • Context awareness (model and viewer information).
  • State and settings for both extension and model configuration.
  • Payments and acknowledgements via token spend flows.

These are generic primitives, not prescriptive features. Developers decide how to use them to create engaging and beneficial experiences.
